Iron panel interpretation please
This is a friend’s recent
iron
panel I’ve looked on rT3 adrenals where it says a low transferrin level indicates a lack of capacity for supplemental
iron
. I really don’t understand this when it’s clear her whole panel is low, including ferritin.

vimpat / lacosamide stopped fully working
I’m six weeks post
iron
infusion, but it hasn’t improved my RLS at all yet. I was really suffering so I called the neurologist and I am taking gabapentin 300 mg at 8 PM and 600 mg at 10 PM.

RLSon flights

iron
supplements to see if that helps but do not have my RLS under any sort of control and its just getting worse and worse.

Stomach cancer
Blood tests revealed very low in haemoglobin and
iron
. She was given 2 infusion for blood and one for
iron
. She then went for endoscopy app. The girl who did the endoscopy was suspicious of malignancy in stomach. She noticed bleeding in stomach as well.

Fatigue, coma naps and pituitary
I thought it was my
iron
, but I fixed that with
iron
IV and with my ferritin being three times higher now at 109 (3-204) for the past 3 months, I'm still drifting away.

ferritin level and symptom question
Previously it was 51 and I have been taking
iron
supplements for about 2 months and it is now 64. Obviously going to continue taking it with the hopes it comes up more and some of these symptoms improve.

Update 8.2
Discussed with the hematologist whether it is PV, Besremi, or
iron
loss; the answer being "who knows." It is not enough to interfere since I can just push through it when I need to. We will continue to monitor the A1C and glucose numbers.

Next, the BMB I refused because of all the back issues, I know it’s in the pelvis but I think it redundant, they see the labs and see that I am JAK2, it’s not gonna change treatment which is currently PHELB, every 3-4 months, other than that I am
iron
deficient, Ferritin levels sometimes sit at 4-5,

I shall ask about
Iron

My profile
It is believed that my low
iron
levels are a result of GCA and I am taking an
iron
supplement. I have taken a eye pressure test which was ok.
